It’s getting to be that time of the year when you can hear the airplanes swooping down dusting our crops with pesticides. I live in Wisconsin where we have acres and acres of green beans and potato fields…the big, “Del Mont Plant” is just down the road from where I live.
You want to know why [...]
Your scaring me over this stuff. I eat a lot of different foods that I probably don’t want to know where it came from. I like to quote the scripture that say “eat any deadly thing it wont hurt you”. Sometimes I do pray harder over my food than in other places. LOL
Hey Debby,
This is a great reminder to us all to support our local organic food growers!! It is apalling to think what damage some of these pesticides can do to your body.
Yes Debby, I hear you loud and clear. As a food scientist I am well aware of these issues. I strongly believe that if we would have invested the time and money that we have in research, in finding more environmental solutions, we would be living a much healthier lifestyle today than we are. But unfortunately, speed and convenience win over health. Strange choices we make for our selves and our kids!

Hi Debby,
It is a frustrating process to find fresh veggies & fruit that is relatively toxic-free, so your post definitely hit home with me, and I greatly appreciate you sharing this info. Christine Christine Casey´s last blog ..How to Make Social Media Work for You
I guess I’ll need to follow you a little closer. I am a 78 year old woman who has always eaten just what I wanted. My health is very good, but I know it could beetter. You have given me lots of inspiration to give it a try, Thanks MAP
Debbie,
I had heard from my nutritionist the advice about local produce and buying from farmers markets being much healthier, but never really appreciated the scary facts behind all of this. Thanks for presenting this excellent information. And also for the very helpful clean and dirty lists, much appreciated!

It’s good to be aware of. It’s not possible always to eat local depending on where you live.
But I will get into that more in latter posts! (-:
Debby, your article makes me want to go our & grow my own food! It’s crazy what is allowed to pass inspections anymore.
Thanks for the tips on what to watch for,

Yep … what’s going on is true. It’s best if you can grow your own food – but not everyone can, so you have to educate yourself. Makes me cry, so sad…
